Stupid tube rigged tubes around boulder areas shallow to mid depth, also around other rocks, wood and hard cover. Rigging tubes stupid makes them less prone to snagging. Wind is your friend on this lake

MN B.A.S.S. Nation day 2. Cold front and rain moved in overnight. The field seemed pretty well split. Either you were on em and doing well or they were nowhere to be found. No middle ground. We weren't on em today. Fished similar stretches of docks as the day prior and did hook into a few decent ones.

Keep it simple on Vermillion. Use a chatter bait and a stupid tube. Try other things too, but the bite can be incredible.

Fished the MN BASS Nation TOC as a Co angler. The best smallies I caught were on large boulders tight to reeds. Was fishing a 1/8oz zman finese jig with a trd trying to shake the jig while slowly reeling to keep it out of the rocks

MN B.A.S.S. Nation TOC day 1. Quickly learned that the crank bait bite had dried up and that the fish moved off many of the locations that they were on 2 days earlier. Moved to dock fishing and found many quality fish skipping a tube. The fish did not seem to respond to motion. Just skip it in there and let it soak.

Flipping a Bronco bug on the alpha grip flipping hook with a 3/4oz weight in between the pads produced a lot of fish

Fished the east side of the lake today and got into a solid bag on the keitech. Peppered the bank with it and slow swam it over the rocks.
